SUBJECT:
NRC REGION I INSPECTION NO. 50-333/93-20
This refers to the results of the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
_
'
W. Cook and J. Tappert from September 5,1993 to October 9,1993 at James A. FitzPatrick
Nuclear Power Plant, Scriba, New York. A summary of the inspection findings was
presented to you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
,
This inspection was directed toward areas important to public health and safety. Areas
l
examined during the inspection are described in the NRC Region I inspection report, which
is enclosed with this letter. _Within these areas, the inspection consisted of _ observation of
,
aciivities, interviews with personnel, and document reviews.
,
Performance by the FitzPatrick staff during this inspection period continued to be good.
Management's decision to reduce reactor power and remove the generator from the grid on-
September 24 prior to troubleshooting the ground on the electro-hydraulic control system was
good. However, more thorough technical review and preparation of the troubleshooting
<
activities may have prevented the unit scram from low power. . We are encouraged by your
,
cautious approach to resolving this complex ground isolation problem, but remain concerned
,
with the adequacy of the technical and engineering support of the troubleshooting effort.
.!
'
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
